Outside My Window ...
still City Hall Parking Lot.

Towards a daily rhythm ...
I don’t know that I am attempting anything big, just little things. Getting ready for Christmas, but not stressing about getting everything done for Advent. I figure that things will pick up as Gman gets older. Now if we do the Jesse Tree a few times, light the Advent candles at least once a week, and let Gman put a figure on our Nativity Advent calendar, that’s enough. I try and do some little thing around the house … sweep floors, wipe up counters, make the coffee, empty dishwasher, make favorite meals, etc. Not all at once, but one or two a day.

I am thankful for ...
My husband. He loves me so much. He puts up with my neuroses and tries his very best to be a good father and husband. I am so blessed.
***
From the kitchen ...
Nada. We’re going to the movies so I see popcorn for dinner….which will probably cost more than getting into the movies. Oh well, a holiday celebration.
***
To live the liturgy...
I bought a bunch of saint biographies….St. Rita, St. Monica, St. Dominic, St. Benedict, St. Gertrude, etc. My goal for the new year is to read more theological non-fiction and not rot my brain with junk.

I am wearing ...
a light blue polo, brown pants, brown knee-high boots, and a red lanyard with my nametag, security ID, and 3 keys on it.
***
I am creating ...
nothing. I am avoiding my job. Need to get back to work.
***
Towards a real education ...
Sending my boy to a traditional Catholic school. I think that is the best thing I can do for him. Still working on my faith myself.
***
Bringing beauty to my home ...
with my joyful personality and bright smile.
***
I am reading ...
books advertised in “BAS BLEU” and online book company. I read their descriptions and if it sounds good, I get the book from the library. So far, they’ve been okay, but I haven’t been overwhelmingly impressed
***
I am hoping ...
for a pleasant weekend with the boys. No yelling, whining, or tantrums would be nice.
***
Around the house ...
Christmas is coming. We will make Gman’s stone handprint for Gram this weekend, maybe make a huge batch of chocolate covered pretzels for home, school, and work, and maybe wrap some presents. Gman loves to wrap. He is Captain Tape.
***
One of my favorite things ...
the internet. I get to connect with people. I seem to have trouble doing that in person.
***
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
a movie tonight with DH, Gman, N, school cleaning, a Christmas party, and dinner with Gram and Aunt K on Sunday.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing~
This never shows up, but I thought I’d try it anyway.
